Description
Psychoanalytic Theories of Development: An Integration presents a comprehensive overview of psychoanalytic theories of human development from Freud to the present. Phyllis Tyson and Robert L. Tyson explore the implications for evaluating and treating children and adults, while also providing their own developmental theory that examines multiple systems evolving simultaneously. The authors review emotional growth literature and describe a developmental theory that considers psychosexual development in relation to other systems such as emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and social systems. They outline the developmental sequences of these systems and how they coalesce to form the human personality. By focusing on the intrapsychic process - what happens in the mind as it evolves - the Tysons provide a nuanced understanding of development that integrates psychoanalytic theories with other perspectives.
